İsa Bey Mosque, 14th-century mosque in Selçuk, Turkey

The İsa Bey Mosque features two main entrances with decorative stone carvings and geometric patterns adorning its eastern and western facades.

Built in 1374 by architect Ali ibn Mushimish al-Damishki, the mosque represents a transition period between Seljuk and Ottoman architectural styles.

The prayer hall contains columns from ancient Ephesus ruins, incorporating elements from previous civilizations into Islamic religious architecture.

Visitors can access the mosque daily between sunrise and sunset, with separate prayer areas designated for men and women.

The mosque's asymmetrical design deliberately misaligns windows, doors, and domes, departing from traditional Islamic architectural symmetry.
